Pros:
I coach my son's 9-Mjrs/AAA team. We hit several brands & models. My son is smaller so he is a 28".
#1 - Vibration reduction - Literally the first pitch with the CF7 my son had a huge smile on his face. He said that there was no vibration whatsoever. It feels hollow/dead at contact as opposed to the sharp sting on the Mako/LS. We have hit plenty in the 45 degree garage with the bat kept out there.
#2 - Swing weight - Even though the CF7 is heavier it feels lighter to swing than a mako or LS. Son says it feels like -12 Combat Portent. There was a noticeable difference of bat control with borderline strikes. When contacted with CF7 it went into play more vs. foul balls off the mako and LS. Attribute that to more bat control due to balance swing weight
#3 - Knob - for kids who hit a lot this is an important upgrade. The Easton Surge bats had a similar know back in the day. It is sloped & that reduces rubbing on the meaty part of the palm.Cons:#1 - cost - Sheesh, hope to get two seasons out of this bat.
#2 - paint scheme (I know, just repeating my sons comments)

My son is 4'7" and 92 pounds. He has a stocky build and very strong for his age. What size/weight do you recommend?

I just bought this bat for my son. What is the correct process of breaking this bat in?

The best way to break in the 2015 DeMarini CF7 Senior League Baseball Bat (DXCFZ) will be to hit between 100 -120 balls off of a tee or soft tossed. The bat should be rotated 1/4" every twenty swings or so.

About DeMarini

In 1992, DeMarini Sports had something to celebrate. The three-year-old company had climbed a rung on the proverbial ladder of success, moving its world headquarters from a dirt-floored barn to a slightly larger metal shack. "It was a big move for us," recalled Ray DeMarini from the batting cage of DeMarini Sport’s present-day Bat Industrial Complex. "The new shop was larger, more storm resistant, and -best of all- it had a heater."
In the early days, DeMarini Sports hardly made a blip on the radar screen of softball. With no retailers and virtually no advertising budget, DeMarini.... read more
